Miss Rose property, came at exactly 7.37pm, killing
Faith Oche, 31, and Mary Oche, 25, said to be co-

like bomb as it rocked the village to its foundation
with people scampering tfor safety.
The explosion left a gory impact on the two victims.
The head of one was reportedly blown off while the
second had her head shattered.
An eyewitness, Mr. Joseph Mark, a tenant in the
house, said Miss Rose, who was cooking in her
apartment, found that a fire had entered the nozzle
of the cylinder and threw it outside the compound.
According to him, when people saw the cylinder with
burning fire, they ran and prepared water and
detergent solution and sands which they were
throwing at a distance to put out the fire.
Mark said the two sisters, Mary and Faith, put up
bravery attempts and approached the cylinder with
the aim of throwing in more sand but the cylinder
exploded suddenly into their faces.
Police officers, who visited the scene, said
investigation had commenced into the matter while
